    Rocket 3 Test

    This is a test of the Rocket 3 by a bike fan with no axe to grind,with someone else`s point of view at the end for a bit of balance,personally I`d still go for the V-Max even if the handling`s distinctly scary.
    Public Health warning:The tester is photographed and he re-defines the expression "Ugly Bastard"

    Despite what he said, I'd say that in real world conditions any sports bike will have trouble staying with the Rocket to 100 k's. Simply because you can get all the power down without threatening to flip it. Over that though you're toast.

    Bit ironic then that the author of that piece goes under the name of "Toaster" Lou.

    After reading the review I was left feeling a bit deflated. Comparing it to a 600 in preformance what can the man be thinking If this is indeed true how then can the preformance figures given in other publications be so far off. Still the Rocket 3 rocks and would be awesome to see at the drags in full flight. :love2:
